Warm movie. It has nothing to do with the Chinese title of the film.

I think I was fooled by the title of the film. I watched "Spicy Baby" purely for pastime. America, comedy, and love are all in line with the elements that a casual night should have. But it is not. The appearance of the English name "uptown girls" made me feel whether there was a problem with the translation of the film. The beginning of the fairy tale type obviously does not bring about a funny farce.

Beautiful girl Molly, 22 years old birthday, flowers and gifts are piled up on the porch, and the answering phone is full of blessings from friends. She is a princess, everyone likes her, and everyone comes to celebrate her birthday. However, everything turned upside down after her 22nd birthday, Snow White became Cinderella, and her father's estate administrator took away all the inheritance left to her by her father. She has nowhere to go, even no place to live, so she can only lead the little pig Mur on the street. The boy she liked was unwilling to contact her for his own career. When she heard her calling him downstairs, he turned around and took the guitar. She had nothing to do with him. Her best friend gave her half of the house, but asked her to sell all her unnecessary things and deal with it. She pulled her into her life and taught her how to face life and find a job, but But it seems serious and unkind.

But she knows nothing. The princess has never thought of a different life besides dressing herself up. She still likes to indulge her temperament and buy expensive Egyptian cotton cloth; she is not used to work, and fell asleep on the store’s furnishing bed while working; she doesn’t even know the simplest setting of the oven time, turn the oven She can make a fire; she is still used to actively paying for it when eating with others.

Until one day she met Ray. Yixiu once again helped her find a job as Ray's nanny. The little girl Ray is such a mature girl, the first thing she saw when she saw her was "you're late". She criticized Molly for being three and a half minutes late, and Molly didn't care about wearing a doll denim skirt. Ray, 8 years old, is very mature. She listened to Mozart and danced ballet, and was unwilling to dance freestyle. She was rational and hygienic. She always talked about the immune system and bacteria. She always said that she would not step too far, and she would not be able to reach thousands of miles. They are very different. But they have the same situation. When Molly was young, her popular father crashed and died. Ray's father became a vegetable. Ray said calmly, "he's nobody. He's now a vegetarian, soon he'll be nothing."

Molly missed Ray's ballet. At the end of the dance, Ray opened his eyes wide and looked for Molly, who is not an adult but the only one who took care of her. She did not come, and Ray's eyes were full of tears. Molly met Ray's mother and realized that she was so indifferent to Ray. She realized her responsibility and she wanted to make up for her. She took her to Coney iland, where there are dreams of her childhood that continue to this day, dreams that she has never walked out of. However, the playground is not open. Ray is a stubborn child. When she cries, she puts down her sunglasses so that others can't see her tears.

Molly saw Neil at Ray's house with Ray's mother for music. She wanted to commit suicide, but she didn't want to be rescued. An adult is like a child in the arms of a child. Ray takes care of her like a doctor. Seeing this, I couldn't help laughing. This film is too interesting. Adults are the heart of children, but children have the strength of adults. Later, when Ray's father passed away, she ran to the spinning cup in the playground alone, and Molly ran over. The two turned the turntable hard, looking at each other without saying a word. Ray finished vomiting and hit Molly desperately. The two finally hugged tightly. Only they themselves can understand this kind of hug, both of them are children who have lost their fathers but are materially carefree.

In the end, everyone is happy. Neil, the man she likes, the man who had betrayed her bought all her father's violin and sang her the song written by her father on the stage. Ray wore the skirt Molly made for her and gave her a surprise with dancing. Ray is still like an adult, using smiles and dancing to give her the most sincere comfort. Ray's mother knows that she cares about her children, and Molly has a new study and work life. Nothing's wrong when Molly smiles.

Although many people say that the ending of the comedy is too far-fetched, I still like it very much. I think it can make the people in the play have a happy ending so that I can sleep at night with peace of mind. There is no friendship between adults and children, Ray said. But, Molly said, There's no grownups here. Laugh. Both are incomplete princesses. They used different masks to wrap themselves, and finally took off the masks, and easily and frankly faced each other. After meeting, they all gradually learned to care and warm, and gradually overcome their irresponsibility and stubbornness. After meeting each other, I am no longer afraid, because at least in the rotating big teacup, what I see is not only the whole rotating world with invisible direction and end, but also each other's eyes. Such eyes can only be understood and cared for by those who have experienced the same situation.

Dad's little girl is a song written to her by Molly's father. In any case, as long as there is singing, there will always be inspiring power.
